1. Do you agree with these words?
2. Explain it.
3. Write the formulae of the given coordination compounds.

3. [CoF₆]^3-and [Co(CN)₆]^3-

Question 2.
Raju: Coordination compounds are coloured.
Ramu: No, co-ordination compounds are colourless.

1. Whose statement is correct?
2. Explain the reason for your answer.

Answer:

1. Raju’s statement is correct. Coordination compounds are usually coloured.
2. The colour of coordination compounds is due to d-d transition.

Question 3.
Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with the central metal ion?
Answer:
Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism because the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with respect to each other.

Question 4.
FeSO₄ solution mixed with (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe²⁺ ion but CuSO₄solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu²⁺ ion. Explain why?
Answer:
FeSO₄ does not form any complex with (NH₄)₂SO₄. Instead, it forms a double salt FeSO₄. (NH₄)₂SO₄.6H₂O which dissociates completely into ions. CuSO₄ when mixed with NH₃ forms a complex [CU(NH₃)₄]SO₄ in which the complex ion [CU(NH₃)₄]²⁺ does not dissociate to give Cu²⁺ ion.

Question 5.
Write the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH₃)(Br)(Cl) (py)] and how many of these will exhibit optical isomerism?
Answer:
The complex [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)] will form three geometrical isomers:

Square planar complexes of this type will not show geometrical isomerism.

Question 6.
Aqueous copper sulphate solution (blue in colour) gives:

1. a green precipitate with aqueous potassium fluoride and
2. a bright green solution with aqueous potassium chloride. Explain these experimental results.

Answer:
Aqueous copper sulphate contains a coordination entity, [Cu(H₂O)₄]²⁺ which is blue in colour. Water molecule is a weaker ligand than Cl^– and F^–.
1. On addition of aqueous KF solution, a new complex entity is formed wich is green in colour.

2. On addition of aqueous solution of KCl, an another bright green complex entity is formed which is soluble in water.

Question 7.
What is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H₂S(g) is passed through this solution?
Answer:
Aqueous solution of copper sulphate contains Cu²⁺ ions in the form of complex entity, [Cu(H₂O)₄]²⁺ and H₂O ligand is a weak ligand. When excess of KCN is added, a new coordination entity, [Cu(CN)₄]^2- is formed due to the following reaction:

Cyanide ligand, CN^– is a strong field lignad and stability constant of [Cu(CN)₄]^2- is quite large and thus practically no Cu²⁺ ions are left in solution. On passing H₂S gas, no CuS is formed due to non-availability of Cu²⁺ ions in solution.

Question 8.
Optical isomerism is usually exhibited by complexes containing polydentate ligand. What do you mean by ligand?

Ligand is a neutral molecule or charged ion which can donate a lone pair of electron to the metal.

2. Pentaamminecarbanatocobalt(III) chloride

Question 11.
[Fe(CN)₆]^3- is paramagnetic, while [Fe(CN)₆]^4- is diamagnetic. Explain with the help of VB theory.
Answer:
In [Fe(CN)₆]^3- iron is in +3 state and in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴, iron is in +2 state. [Fe(CN)₆]^3- contains five electrons in d-level (3d⁵). In this complex iron undergoes d²sp³ hybridisation.

Due to the presence of one unpaired electron, [Fe(CN)₆]^3-, is paramagnetic. In [Fe(CN)₆]^4- iron contains six electrons in d-level (3d⁶). It undergoes d²sp³ hybridisation and has no unpaired electrons. Hence, [Fe(CN)₆]^4- is diamagnetic.

As a result of this the energy of d_x²-y² and d_z² orbitals increases and the energy of the remaining three orbitals decreases. The orbitals which possess high energy are represented as ‘e_g’ levels and the orbitals which possess less energy are represented as “t_2g” levels.

Question 4.
What will be the correct order for the wavelengths of absorption in the visible region for the following:
[Ni(NO₂)₆]^4-, [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺, [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺

The order of the ligand in the spectrochemical series is H₂O < NH₃ < NO₂^–. Hence the wavelength of the light observed will be in the order:
[Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ < [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺ < [Ni(NO₂)₆]^4-

Thus, the wavelength of light absorbed (E = \(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}\)) will be in the opposite order:

   e.g. [Co(NH₃)₅Cl] SO₄ & [Co(NH₃)₅SO₄] Cl

These complexes ionises as:

• [Co(NH₃)₅Cl] SO₄ → [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺ + SO₄^2-
• [Co(NH₃)₅SO₄] Cl → [Co(NH₃)₅SO₄]+ + Cl^–

1. Is this statement true?
2. Explain the crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes with the help of a neat diagram.

Answer:

Consider the complex ion [Ti (H₂O)₆]³⁺ In the case of an octahedral complex, what is the condition for the pairing of forth electron in the d- level?
Answer:
If the crystal field splitting energy is greater than the pairing energy, the fourth electron will pair at the t_2glevel and if the pairing energy is greater than the crystal field splitting energy the electron will go to the on e_g level.

Question 13.
Is bidentate ligands same as the amidentate ligands? Justify.
Answer:
A bidentate ligand like (en), can form two coordinate bonds with the metal at the same time.
An amidentate ligand like -NO₂ can form only one coordinate bond with the metal at a time. But it can ligate through two different atoms.

Question 1.
FeSO₄ solution mixed with (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe²⁺ ion but CuSO₄solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu²⁺ ion. Explain why?
Answer:
FeSO₄ does not form any complex with (NH₄)₂SO₄. Instead, it forms a double salt FeSO₄.(NH₄)₂SO₄.6H₂O which dissociates completely into ions. CuSO₄ when mixed with NH₃ forms a complex [CU(NH₃)₄]SO₄ in which the complex ion [CU(NH₃)₄]²⁺ does not dissociate to give Cu²⁺ ion.

Question 2.

The complex [Pt(NH₃)(Br)(Cl)(py)] will form three geometrical isomers:

Square planar complexes of this type will not show geometrical isomerism.

Question 3.
Aqueous copper sulphate solution (blue in colour) gives:

1. a green precipitate with aqueous potassium fluoride and
2. a bright green solution with aqueous potassium chloride. Explain these experimental results.

Answer:
Aqueous copper sulphate contains coordination entity, [Cu(H₂O)₄]²⁺ which is blue in colour. Water molecule is a weaker ligand than Cl^– and F^–.
1. On addition of aqueous KF solution, a new complex entity is formed wich is green in colour.

2. On addition of aqueous solution of KCl, another bright green complex entity is formed which is soluble in water.

Question 4.
What is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H₂S(g) is passed through this solution?
Answer:
Aqueous solution of copper sulphate contains Cu²⁺ ions in the form of complex entity, [Cu(H₂O)₄]²⁺ and H₂O ligand is a weak ligand. When excess of KCN is added, a new coordination entity, [Cu(CN)₄]^2- is formed due to the following reaction:

Cyanide ligand, CN^– is a strong field lignad and stability constant of [Cu(CN)₄]^2- is quite large and thus practically no Cu²⁺ ions are left in solution. On passing H₂S gas, no CuS is formed due to the non-availabiliy of Cu²⁺ ions in solution.

Question 5.
What will be the correct order for the wavelengths of absorption in the visible region for the following:
[Ni(NO₂)₆]^4-, [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺, [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺
Answer:
The order of the ligand in the spectrochemical series is H₂O < NH₃ < NO₂^–. Hence the wavelength of the light observed will be in the order:
[Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ < [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺ < [Ni(NO₂)₆]^4-

Thus, the wavelength of light absorbed (E = \(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}\)) will be in the opposite order:
[Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ > [Ni(NH₃)₆]²⁺ > [Ni(NO₂)₆]^4-
